Self-sufficient water
Houses and apartments for sale with a well, borehole or spring, fully or partly water self-sufficient: rainwater harvesting, wastewater reuse, hot water produced on site. Every drop counts.
A well at the end of the garden, a borehole drawing from the water table, a spring on the land: these properties have their own water, for the garden, the vegetable patch and sometimes the entire home. Others collect rainwater in a tank or reuse their wastewater for watering. Depending on the property, self-sufficiency is partial or complete. As for hot water, a heat pump or solar water heater produces it on site.
Your own water, season after season
Lower bills, a garden that thrives even through dry summers, and hot water produced by the sun or the air. A rare asset that comes with the property.
Frequently asked questions

What’s the advantage of a home with a well?
Water of your own, available all year round, for a lush garden and a lighter bill. A rare asset that also adds value to the property.
Well, borehole or spring: what’s the difference?
A well is dug at shallow depth, a borehole reaches deeper into the water table, and a spring flows naturally from the ground. Three ways to have your own water, each with its own advantages.
How do you treat water from a well or spring?
To drink it, the water must be tested and approved as drinkable. Otherwise, it keeps the garden and vegetable patch happy, which already covers a good share of everyday use.
What can harvested rainwater be used for?
Watering the garden and vegetable patch, cleaning, and even supplying the toilets or washing machine. A resource provided by nature that noticeably lightens the bill.
